Calvia 15-guttata, Fabricius. 



Coccinella quindecimguttata, Fabr. Gen. Ins. p. 217 (1777). 



This species differs from the last in usually having- two 

 oblique spots on the thorax before the scutellum and only 

 two transverse dorsal spots, as stated above. 



Hah. Nagasaki, Tokio, and Niigata. In the British 

 Museum there are some large specimens from China labelled 

 C. septenariaj Muls. 



CcelojyJiora {ncequalis, Fabricius. 

 Coccinella incequalis, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 80 (1776). 

 Hab. Nagasaki. Only seen once. 



Propyha japonica, Thunberg. 

 Coccinella japonica, Thunb. Nov. Spec. Ins. p. 12, fig. 12 (1781). 



In some of its varieties this species resembles C. conglobata, 

 Linn., but as my Japanese specimens differ from those of 

 Western Europe (being narrower and more variable in 

 colour), I prefer to use Thunberg's name. Crotch thought 

 my specimens belonged to the Linnean species. It is not 

 easy to find two specimens exactly alike, and in recent years 

 eight varietal names have been added to the earlier list by 

 Sajo, Croissandeau, and Weise. One varietal name of 

 Mulsant's which belongs to this form or species has been 

 placed by Crotch under P. dissecta, Muls. 



Hab. All the islands. Very abundant. 



Veram'a discolor, Fabricius. 

 Coccinella discolor, Fabr. Suppl. Ent. Syst. p. 77 (1798).
